I marked it volatile, and still the next time I call the function after the first insert, using the previous new id as as input parameter, it still can't "find" the newly inserted id for the next go-round. Nor can any regular SELECTs in the main program find it.

Thanks,It isn't marked as one of those as all, so whatever the default is.That could be it. I'll look up the default.

Is the SELECT also inside a database function, and if so is that function
marked stable or immutable? That might explain it --- non-volatile
functions are intentionally designed not to notice updates that happen
after they start.
